/ About this event
Join Afro Diaspora Connect and VeSoko for an evening exploring how African and diaspora brands are crossing borders, entering new markets, and scaling globally. We’ll bring together founders, operators, retailers, investors, and consumers for conversations around what it takes to build and grow consumer brands for a global market—from brand building and e-commerce to distribution, technology, and community.
Featured Fireside Speakers: Nyakio Grieco, Founder of Relevant: Your Skin Seen and CEO of Thirteen Lune (thirteenlune.com), Ryan Ferreira, Head of Retail (TakeAlot.com), and Karla Levick, Chief Marketing Officer (TakeAlot.com)
The evening will also spotlight the founders and stories behind African Beers USA and Topas ChinChin, alongside a curated showcase of African brands and products from VeSoko. Guests will have the opportunity to discover the products, hear directly from the entrepreneurs building them, and connect with founders and leaders across consumer, commerce, and technology.
Food and wine selections from across the African diaspora will be served throughout the evening.
